All 10 Curses, 9/10 Fool's Golds FTW

I took a long shot here and figured that getting all the FGs and all the Markets would be fast enough to beat Cursing AND Alchemist. The thing that saved me was his Young Witches were either too important to his engine to quit  or he didn't realize that once two piles were gone his cursing was going to end the game too fast. Whichever it was, I managed to buy the last curse myself for a narrow win.

Usually buying curses to win happens with Goons or Fairgrounds, so I would say this is a slightly odd case.

...

In other news, since I don't want to spam too much, today I opened Lighthouse/Lighthouse and won.

My first reaction on looking at the openings: oh, you opened Lighthouse/Lighthouse to counter Potion/Silver->Familiar, that seems pretty reasonable. Second reaction: Transmute is the only potion card?

Transmute, the biggest trap card in the isotropics.  :)

I believe I've opened Lighthouse/Lighthouse on a Minion board.

Yeah, in this case it was cause I wanted to stock up on actions early to minimize the chance of a throne room fail.

Really? I've only ever seen it done to run out the Curse pile.
